[quote=Anonymous]This is nonsense. I am totally spoiled by expensive wine - my brother is a wine buyer for a chain of specialty wine stores, and through him I have got to drink wines costing hundreds of dollars. Would I personally pay hundreds of dollars for a bottle of wine? No. Is there a difference in taste and quality between those and a $10 bottle. 100% yes. I would not say that the difference in taste and quality is necessarily in proportion to the difference in price - a $200 bottle is not necessarily 20 times better than the $10 bottle. But there are sweet spots - lesser known regions, specific vineyards, etc - where you can find the value points and find wines which cost maybe $40 a bottle but taste as good as some of the $200 bottles. 
Anyway - I never ever drink cheap wine now, it tastes awful to me. If I'm in a restaurant a quick text or photo of the wine list to my brother is usually helpful (he's more reliable than the Vivino app - which I recommend if you don't have access to my bro!) and he's able to select something for me based on what he knows I like and would want to spend.
